suocess Wins.

There Ia no disputing the truth OF
the fact conveyed by that celebrated
proverb OF Horace Greeley's Nothing
succeeds like success"
Mr.. Greeley evidently intended to
convey the idea of the general inclina-
ton Of the times to help "boom" any
enterprise that was successful, while
the undertaking that Jagged and really
needed aid and encouragement was left
to shift for itself.
A story paper, however, must have
real merit before it will secure the
patronage and support of the public.
IL il succeeds, it Is conceded that il
deserves success. It might be said that
story paper that deserves success will
succeed, and its success is evidence OF
merit.

A Fortune In Eggs.

"If I owned all the hens in this
country" said the marketman, as he
counted out dozen eggs and put them
in q customers basket, "and had place
to pasture them, would ask just ten
years in business and I'd be the boss
millionaire"
Allows that?"
SLOWS that2 Maybe you don't
know, young man, that over 26, 600, 900
cackles each day, announcing the birth
of the same number Of eggs, kept the
farmer boys busy last year gathering
in the efforts of 100000 hens But
they did. Well, those efforts for 365
days resulted in 5000, 100000 sep
arate and distinct eggs, or 800, 900, 900
dozen, as near as can calculate. Now,
it took just $50, 600, 900 dozen of those
eggs to supply the demand for Tom
and ferries, buildings, hard and soft
boiled eggs, egg-nog, and ham and
eggs at that. / figure that thirty cents
a dozen for 1886 was about the average
price. Thirty cents dozen for 720.-
000, 900 dozen climbs up to the comforta-
BILE little purse of 1926, 000,0 900. There's
nothing mean about me, and if / had
the handling of those offers of the ma
TONS hens I'd be satisfied with profit
of two cents on O dozen.
LAST year must have been good
one for people visiting in the country,
for folks broiled, fricasseed, and roast
ed something like 600, 900, 900 chickens,
young and old. That used up the bal
ance of 100000 dozen eggs. That
100000 dozen we're turned into
chickens that gobbled up $500, 900, 900
of the hard-earned coin of this realm,
ciphering the thing down close, at fifty
cents a chicken. don't deal in poul-
try, but from the size of the diamond
pins of the ones that do, don't hest
tate minute to say that there can't
be less than five cents profit on every
chicken they sell. Last year New York
took $4,000, 900 dozen of eggs to satisfy
her, and she paid $4,000, 900 to get
them. Now, New York State only
keeps hens enough to lay about 8,0O0,-
600 dozen, and so. of course, we have
to go knocking around all over the
country and part of Canada to keep up
with the cry for eggs. 1t would take
all the eggs that New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts,
hens are responsible for to supply this
city with all the eggs it wants. The
$4,000, 900 eggs used here last year, if
laid in single line, one after another,
with a hairs space between them,
would reach from Boston to San Fran
cisco. tell you, there's big thing
waiting for some one who can get q
corner on eggs. "-Ne,o York Mail and

Stopping Runaway Horses.

The following method of stopping
runaway horses would seem to be good,
but few horse-owners would care to
advertise the vicious character of their
animals by such conspicuous device ;
neither would the owner of q horse
ordinarily safe wish to adopt such a
cumbersome continuance as a regular
part of his harness: place cord
with running knot around the horses
neck near the neck strap. To this
slip-noose attach pair of reins which
may be thrown over the dashboard
ready to be seized at once. When the
horse starts, take up this cord and
tighten the horses throat. The most
